I realized today it's been years since I was genuinely complimented. I don't even get complimented for doing well at work. Am I the only guy who's experiencing this? I hear women compliment each other all the time. Is there a reason why we don't get to have them?

Today I went to my uncle's funeral. I didn't know him very well, but I went because I wanted to pay my respects. My father's side of the family is much closer than my mother's, and I learned that my uncle was very popular. The small funeral home was packed with people. He served in the military...

Hey there, I'm February, a 34-year-old guy who's always got his nose buried in a good non-fiction book. Lately, I've been diving into fitness too, hoping to find a new hobby. I used to have a great group of friends, but as life goes, we've drifted apart. They're all busy with their families and...
